Summary

"Drawn from the most intimate and personal of associations. Pablo Neruda's most beloved collection of poetry juxtaposes the exuberance of youthful passion with the desolation of grief, the sensuality of the body with the metaphorical nuances of nature." "Interspersed with illustrations by Pablo Picasso, W.S. Merwin's masterly translation faces the original Spanish text. This edition also features a wonderful new Introduction by Cristina Garcia"--Jacket.
